प्रेरित 13
1 एन्टिओखियाको सभामा त्यहाँ केही अगमवक्ताहरू र शिक्षकहरू थिए । तिनीहरूमा बारनाबास, सिमियोन (जसलाई नाइजर भनिन्थ्यो), कुरेनीका लुसियस मनेन (जो पालनपोषण गरेर हेरोदसँगै हुर्किएका भाइ) र शाऊल थिए ।
Now in the congregation that was in Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon (the one called Niger), Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
2 जब तिनीहरू उपवाससहित आराधना गरिरहेका थिए, पवित्र आत्माले भन्नुभयो, “शाऊल र बारनाबासलाई मेरो निम्ति अलग गर जुन काम गर्नका निम्ति मैले तिनीहरूलाई बोलाएको छु ।”
As they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart to me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them!”
3 सभाले उपवास प्रार्थना गरिसकेपछि, र तिनीहरूले यी मानिसहरूमाथि हातहरू राखेर प्रार्थना गरे र उनीहरूलाई पठाइदिए ।
Then, having fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them off.
4 त्यसकारण पवित्र आत्माको आज्ञा शाऊल र बारनाबासले माने र तल सिलुसियामा गए, अनि त्यहाँबाट जहाज चढी साइप्रसको टापुतिर गए ।
So, having been sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus.
5 सलामिस सहरमा हुँदा, उनीहरूले यहूदीहरूको सभाघरमा वचन घोषणा गरे र सहायताका लागि यूहन्ना मर्कूस पनि उनीहरूसँगै थिए ।
And upon arriving in Salamis, they started proclaiming the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews (also they had John as assistant).
6 उनीहरू पुरै टापु पार गरेर पाफोस पुगेपछि एक जना जादुगर यहूदी झुटा अगमवक्तालाई भेट्टाए, जसको नाउँ बार येशू थियो ।
Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew named Bar-Jesus,
7 यो जादुगर त्यहाँको प्रान्तीय शासक सर्गियस पौलससँग सम्बन्धित थियो, जो एक विद्वान मानिस थिए । उनले शाऊल र बारनाबासलाई बोलाए किनभने तिनी परमेश्वरको वचन सुन्न चाहन्थे ।
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, really wanting to hear the Word of God.
8 तर इलुमास, ‘‘जादुगर’’ ले तिनीहरूको विरोध गर्यो (यसरी नै उसको नाउँ अनुवाद गरिन्छ); उसले प्रान्तीय शासक सर्गियस पौलसलाई विश्वासबाट फर्काउन प्रयास गर्यो ।
But the sorcerer Elymas (for so his name is translated) opposed them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
9 तर शाऊल जसलाई पावल पनि भनिन्छ, पवित्र आत्माले भरिएर, उसलाई एकटक लाएर हेरे
Then Saul, also called Paul, filled with Holy Spirit and looking intently at him,
10 र भने, तँ शैतानको छोरो, तँ छल र दुष्टताले भरिएको छस् । तँ हरेक प्रकारको धार्मिकताको शत्रु होस् । तैले प्रभुको सोझो बाटोलाई बड्ग्याउन कहिल्यै छोड्दैनस्, छोड्छस् र?
said: “O full of all deceit and all trickery, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness! Will you not stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord?
11 अब हेर्, प्रभुको हात तँमाथि परेको छ र तँ अन्धो हुनेछस् । केही समयका लागि तैँले घाम देख्ने छैनस् ।’’ तुरुन्तै त्यहाँ बाक्लो तुवाँलो र अन्धकारले एलुमासलाई ढाक्यो र हात समातेर डोर्याइदिऊन् भन्दै यताउति मानिसहरूलाई आग्रह गर्न थाल्यो ।
Well now, the Lord's hand is against you and you will be blind, not seeing the sun until next season!” Immediately mist and darkness engulfed him, and he started going around looking for someone to lead him by the hand.
12 प्रान्तीय शासकले जे भएको थियो त्यो देखेपछि उनले विश्वास गरे, किनभने उनी प्रभुको शिक्षाबारे चकित भएका थिए ।
Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had happened, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 अब त्यसपछि पावल र उनका साथीहरू पाफोसबाट पानीजहाजमा चढी पाम्फिलियाको पर्गामा आए । तर यूहन्नाले उनीहरूलाई छोडेर यरूशलेमतिर फर्के ।
Then Paul and his party set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphilia (here John left them and returned to Jerusalem).
14 पावल र उनका साथीहरू पर्गाबाट यात्रा गर्दै पिसिदियाको एन्टीओखियामा आइपुगे। त्यहाँ उनीहरू विश्राम दिनमा सभा घरमा गए र बसे ।
Going on from Perga they arrived in Antioch of Pisidia; and entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
15 अनि व्यवस्था र अगमवक्ताहरूका पुस्तक पढिसकेपछि सभाघरका अगुवाहरूले उनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर सन्देश पठाए, “भाइहरू हो, यदि तपाईंहरूसँग यहाँ भएका मानिसहरूको निम्ति कुनै उत्साहको सन्देश छ भने भन्नुहोस् ।”
After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, do speak.”
16 त्यसकारण पावल उठे र हातले इसारा गर्दै उनले भने, “इस्राएलका मानिसहरू र जसले परमेश्वरलाई आदर गर्नुहुन्छ, सुन्नुहोस् ।
So standing up and motioning with his hand, Paul said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen.
17 इस्राएलका यी मानिसहरूका परमेश्वरले हाम्रा पितापुर्खाहरूलाई चुनेर र मिश्रदेशमा रहँदा तिनीहरूलाई संख्यामा धेरै बढाउनुभयो र आफ्नो उचालिएको बाहुलीद्वारा तिनीहरूलाई त्यहाँबाट बाहिर निकाल्नुभयो ।”
The God of this people chose our fathers, and prospered the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and brought them out of it with an uplifted arm.
18 उहाँले झण्डै चालिस वर्षसम्म तिनीहरूलाई उजाड स्थानमा सहनुभयो।
For a period of about forty years He put up with them in the wilderness.
19 कनानमा भएका सातवटा जातिहरूलाई उहाँले नास गरिसकेपछि हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूको भूमि आफ्नो उत्तराधिकारका लागि दिनुभयो ।
And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He gave them possession of their land.
20 यी सबै घटनाहरू हुन चारसय पचास वर्षको अवधिमा भएका हुन् । यी सबै कुरापछि परमेश्वरले शमूएल अगमवक्ताको समयसम्म तिनीहरूलाई न्यायकर्ताहरू दिनुभयो ।
After these things, He gave judges for about four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
21 त्यसपछि, मानिसहरूले एउटा राजाको माग गरे, त्यसैले परमेश्वरले बेन्यामिन कुलको किशका छोरा शाऊललाई चालिस वर्षसम्मको निम्ति दिनुभयो ।
And then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, a son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
22 तब परमेश्वरले शाऊललाई राजाबाट हटाउनुभएपछि, उहाँले दाऊदलाई तिनीहरूको राजा हुनलाई खडा गर्नुभयो । परमेश्वरले यी नै दाऊदको बारेमा भन्नुभएको थियो, ‘यिशैका छोरा दाऊद मेरो हृदयअनुसारका मानिस भएको पाएँ र मैले चाहेको हरेक काम उनले गर्नेछन् ।’
And removing him He raised up for them David as king, about whom He gave witness and said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
23 यिनै मानिसका सन्तानहरूबाट उहाँले गर्नेछु भनी प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएअनुसार परमेश्वरले इस्राएलमा मुक्तिदाता येशू ल्याउनुभएको छ ।
God, from this man's seed, according to promise, has brought Salvation to Israel,
24 येशू आउनुभन्दा अगाडि नै यो हुन थाल्यो, जब यूहन्नाले पहिला इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूलाई पश्चात्तापको बप्तिस्माको बारेमा घोषणा गरे ।
John having heralded beforehand, in advance of His coming, a baptism of repentance to Israel.
25 जसरी यूहन्नाले आफ्नो काम पुरा गर्दै गर्दा उनले भने, ‘तिमीहरू म को हुँ भनी विचार गर्दछौ? म त्यो होइनँ । तर सुन, मपछि एकजना आउँदैहुनुहुन्छ, जसको खुट्टाको जुत्ताको तुना फुकाल्न म योग्यको छैनँ ।’
Well, as John was fulfilling his course, he said: ‘Whom do you suppose me to be? No I am not—but indeed He comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
26 भाइहरू, अब्राहामका वंशका सन्तानहरू, र तपाईंहरूमध्ये जसले परमेश्वरलाई आराधना गर्नुहुन्छ, यो मुक्तिबारेको सन्देश हामीहरूलाई नै पठाइएको छ ।
“Men, brothers, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God: to you the word of this salvation has been sent.
27 यरूशलेममा बस्नेहरू र तिनीहरूका शासकहरूले उहाँलाई वास्तमै चिनेनन्, न त हरेक शबाथमा पढिने अगमवक्ताहरूको आवजलाई नै बुझे । त्यसकारण तिनीहरूले यसरी येशूलाई मृत्यु दण्डको आज्ञा दिएर अगमवक्ताको भविष्यवाणीलाई पुरा गरे ।
The Jerusalem dwellers and their rulers, understanding neither Him nor the voices of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning Him.
28 उहाँलाई मृत्यु दण्डका निम्ति कुनै पनि दोष नभेट्टाए तापनि तिनीहरूले पिलातससँग उहाँलाई मार्न माग गरे ।
Though they found no cause for death, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.
29 जब तिनीहरूले उहाँको बारेमा लेखिएका यी सबै कुराहरू पुरा गरे, तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई रुखबाट ओराले र चिहानमा राखे ।
When they had fulfilled all things that were written about Him, they took Him down from the cross and placed Him in a tomb.
30 तर परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्नुभयो ।
But God raised Him from the dead;
31 गालीलदेखि यरूशलेमसम्म उहाँसँगै आएका मानिसहरूकहाँ उहाँ धेरै दिनसम्म देखापर्नु भयो । अहिले यिनीहरू नै मानिसहरूका लागि उहाँका साक्षी भएका छन् ।
and for many days He was seen by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.
32 यसकारण हाम्रा पितापुर्खाहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरिएको असल समाचार हामीले तपाईंहरूकहाँ ल्याएकाछौँ ।
“Yes we proclaim to you the good news: the promise that was made to the fathers,
33 परमेश्वरले येशूलाई मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्नुहुँदा, हामी तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरूका निम्ति उहाँले यी प्रतिज्ञाहरू पुरागरिदिनुभयो । जसरी यो दोस्रो भजनमा पनि लेखिएको छः ‘तिमी मेरा पुत्र हौ, आज म तिम्रो पिता भएको छु ।’
God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, when He raised up Jesus; as also it stands written in the second Psalm: ‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you.’
34 उहाँको शरीर नकुहोस् भनी उहाँले येशूलाई मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्नुभयो भन्ने तथ्यबारे उहाँले यसरी बोल्नुभएको छ, ‘म तिमीलाई दाऊदको पवित्र र निश्चित आशिष् दिनेछु ।’
And that He raised Him from the dead, no longer to return to corruption, He has spoken thus, ‘I will give you the holy things guaranteed to David.’
35 यसैकारणले गर्दा उहाँले अर्को भजन पनि यसरी भन्नुभएको छ, ‘तपाईंले आफ्नो पवित्र जनलाई कुहिन दिनुहुनेछैन ।’
Further, it is stated elsewhere, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
36 किनभने दाऊदले उनको पुस्तामा परमेश्वरको इच्छाअनुसार सेवा गरेपछि, उनको मृत्य भयो र उनलाई उनका पितापुर्खाहरूसँगै राखियो र उनको शरीर कुहियो ।
Now David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw decay;
37 तर जसलाई परमेश्वरले जीवित पार्नुभयो उहाँलको शरीर कुहिएन ।
but the One whom God raised up did not see decay.
38 त्यसैले भाइहरू हो, यो कुरा तपाईंहरूलाई थाहा होस् कि यिनै मानिसद्वारा तपाईंहरूलाई पाप क्षमाको घोषणा गरिन्छ ।
Therefore, let it be known to you, men, brothers, that through this One forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you;
39 विश्वास गर्ने हरेक उहाँद्वारा सबै थोकहरूबाट धर्मी ठहरिइन्छ, जसबाट मोशाको व्यवस्थाले तपाईंहरूलाई धर्मी ठहराउन सकेको थिएन ।
and by Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the Law of Moses.
40 यसैकारण होसियार हुनुहोस्, अगमवक्ताले बोलेको यो कुरा तपाईंहरूमाथि आइनपरोस्:
So take care, lest there come upon you that which has been spoken in the prophets:
41 ‘घृणा गर्नेहरू हो, हेर र छक्क पर, र नष्ट भइजाओ, तिमीहरूको समयमा मैले काम गरिरहेको छु, यदि कसैले तिमीहरूलाईं यसबारे घोषणा गरे पनि तिमीहरू कहिल्यै विश्वास गर्ने छैनौ ।’”
‘Look you despisers, marvel and perish! For I am working a work in your days to which you will not give credence, even if someone were to explain it in detail to you.’”
42 पावल र बारनाबास त्यहाँबाट जान लाग्दा मानिसहरूले यी नै वचनहरू अर्को विश्राममा आएर बोलिदिनुहोस् भनी तिनीहरूलाई बिन्ती गरे ।
Now as the Jews were going out of the synagogue, the Gentiles implored repeatedly that these words might be spoken to them the next Sabbath.
43 जब सभाघरको सभा अन्त्य भयो, तब धेरै यहूदीहरू र यहूदी मत मान्ने भक्तहरू पावल र बारनाबासको पछि लागे । तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको अनुग्रहमा निरन्तर रहिरहन उनीहरूलाई उत्साह दिए ।
The synagogue service having been dismissed, many of the Jews and the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who started addressing them, urging them to continue in the grace of God.
44 अर्को विश्राममा, लगभग पुरै सहर नै प्रभुको वचन सुन्नलाई सँगसँगै भेलाभएको थियो ।
Well the next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered to hear the Word of God.
45 जब यहूदीहरूले भिडलाई देखे, तिनीहरू डाहले भरिए, र पावलले भनेका कुराहरूको बिरुद्धमा बोल्न थाले र उनको अपमान गरे।
But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with envy and started speaking against the things said by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
46 तर पावल र बारनाबासले साहससित बोल्दै भने, “परमेश्वरको वचन पहिले तपाईंहरूकहाँ नै बोल्नु नै आवश्यक थियो । तपाईंहरूबाट धकेलिएको देखेर आफूले आफैँलाई अनन्त जीवन प्राप्त गर्नदेखि अयोग्य तुल्याउनुभएको हुनाले, हेर्नुहोस्, हामी गैरयहूदी तर्फ फर्केनेछौँ । (aiōnios g166)
But Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly said: “It was necessary that God's Word should be spoken to you first. But since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, now we are being turned to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 किनभने परमेश्वरले हामीलाई यस्तो आज्ञा गर्नुभएको छ, ‘मैले तिमीलाई गैरयहूदीहरूका निम्ति ज्योतिको रूपमा राखेकोछु, र पृथ्वीको अन्तिम छेउसम्म तिमीहरूले मुक्ति ल्याउनु पर्छ ।”
Because that is just how the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have set you to be a light for ethnic nations, that you should be for salvation up to the last place on earth.’”
48 जब गैरयहूदीहरूले यो सुने, तिनीहरू खुसी भए र परमेश्वरको वचनको महिमा गरे । अनन्त जीवनका लागि नियुक्त गरिएका जतिले विश्वास गरे । (aiōnios g166)
Now upon hearing this, the Gentiles rejoiced and glorified the Word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal live believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 त्यस सम्पूर्ण क्षेत्रभरि नै प्रभुको वचन फैलियो ।
Well the Word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region.
50 तर यहूदीहरूले भक्त र महत्त्वपूर्ण स्त्रीहरू र साथ-साथै सहरका मुख्य मानिसहरूसँग पावल र बारनाबासको विरुद्धमा अनुरोध गरे । तिनीहरूले पावल र बारनाबासलाई दण्डित गरे उनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको सहरको सिमाना कटाए ।
But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.
51 तर पावल र बारनाबासले आफ्नो खुट्टामा लागेको धुलो तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा टकटक्याए । त्यसपछि तिनीहरू आइकोनियम सहरमा गए ।
So they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and went to Iconium.
52 अनि चेलाहरू आनन्द र पवित्र आत्माले भरपुर भए ।
But the disciples were filled with joy and with Holy Spirit.
